Want to be more than a tourist, escape the overcrowded beaches, eat delicious food, hike jungles, and see wild animals?
Thailand is one of the most beautiful and vibrant countries in the world. It’s filled with incredible things to see and do, delicious food, and friendly locals. I fell in love with it during my first visit in 2005.
I’ve gone back every year since. I lived in Bangkok for two years, have run tours through the country, and have crisscrossed and digested every part of Thailand.
And, in this travel guide, I share that deep insider knowledge with you.
This isn’t a mass-produced book seeking to appeal to all tourists. This book is based on my over fifteen years of firsthand experience in the country and will help you have the trip of a lifetime.
My guidebook will help you enjoy the land of smiles, find hidden white sand beaches, traverse jungles, and eat where the locals eat.

“This Thailand guide was the perfect tool to help me plan my month-long trip there. I followed many of Matt’s suggestions and all of them were amazing!

If you like eating as much as I do, try the restaurants listed: they were the best places I ate in during my whole trip!” – AndréFrequently Asked Questions
What makes your guide different?
Our books cater to budget travelers and focus on off-the-beaten-path and local destinations other guidebooks skip. Unlike other mainstream guidebooks, we don’t try to be everything to everyone. We’re here for the people who want to travel, not merely take photos. All of the information included in this guide is from firsthand experience, not internet research.
What makes you an expert on Thailand?
I’ve been to Thailand more times than I can count, lived there for two years, was there during two political coups, speak Thai, and ran tours there. All of the recommendations in this guide are my personal favorite places to see, eat, and drink.
What’s the difference between this guide and the information on this site?
While this website has a lot of great information on Thailand, it doesn’t offer specific accommodation, restaurant or bar recommendations; neighborhood information; historical information; or important information like customs, laws, visas, and detailed transportation and emergency information. Ya know, all the stuff you turn to a guidebook for!
